Apparatus and method for real-time load detection for rear-end servers through a Fabric plane

Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for real-time load detection for rear-end servers through a Fabric plane. The apparatus includes a processing board for master control and multiple processing boards for network processing. Processing board onboard switch chips are interconnected through a frame backboard. A processor on the master control board and processors on the service boards are connected to a Base plane used for control and disposed in a system. Through combination with other steps, the problem in the prior art that real-time load detection is conducted only through the Base plane for control. In an existing network environment, a diverter and rear-end servers generally are not interconnected on the Base plane for control, which severely limits realization of a shunting weight algorithm of the diverter to lead to a situation that busy rear-end servers are busier and idle rear-end servers are idler. The invention provides a method for real-time load detection through a Fabric plane, the method assisting the shunting weight algorithm to shunt flow to rear-end servers more reasonably and more uniformly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network load balancing and distribution, in particular to a device and method for real-time load detection of multiple back-end servers through a Fabric plane. Background technique [0002] At present, the processing method for realizing the load detection of the offloading device is often to connect the processor of the main control board in the system with the processor of the service board through the Base plane for control, and then the processor of the main control board is connected through the Base plane for control. To perform load detection of multiple back-end servers, so as to realize the load detection capability of multiple back-end servers. [0003] However, in the existing detection mode through the Base plane for control, it is necessary to ensure that the splitter and the back-end server are connected to each other on the Base plane for control. This method will not only increase the cons...

[0003] However, in the existing detection mode through the base plane used for control, it is necessary to ensure that the splitter and the back-end server are connected to each other on the base plane used for control. This method will not only increase the construction cost of the existing network equipment, but also cause The fault of the base plane used for control affects the data distribution of the fabric plane
